I recommend this tutorial on animal anatomy to anyone that has never studied the anatomical structure and functions of animals, anyone interested in creature design for games and films, or maybe thinking about illustrating them in any field on a professional level. It will also help give you an even clearer understanding on the how to draw animal books you may or may not have yet.

This comprehensive introduction to animal anatomy is for artists who want to draw authentic-looking animals from their imagination. Marshall demonstrates that the core of this skill is in knowing animal bones and muscles, constructing them as three-dimensional forms, and practicing these disciplines until they become easy enough to let your impulses take over. He uses hundreds of drawings to show the major components of various animals, how their anatomy works, and how to draw them so that they look anatomically authentic, solid and alive. 3D artists looking to enhance their understanding of basic animal form and motion will also benefit from Marshall’s presentation.
